My Touch Pro (HTC Raphael) is acting up, the screen continuously jumps or goes completely black, the digitizer doesn't respond right, and the power button doesn't work. The navigation control doesn't work right either.
6/27/10----- 3:49 p.m.
I found out where the problem came from, it's from the socket on where the flex cable from the screen part of the TP connets to the motherboard. if anyone knows where i can get a replacement mother board please let me know!
I attached some pictures with the board and the jumpy screen.
why replace board if you can replace phone?
I had similar problems a couple weeks ago, on a TP that is more than 1 yr old - local Sprint store told me to get it replaced under the Total Equipment insurance plan I have, but that would be $100 ... called Sprint customer service, they symptom-diagnosed it as loose/failing cable, so they swapped it out as a manufacturer defect, I had a replacement phone in 2 days, with return mailer included. On the phone maybe 20 minutes total.
Flex Cable is bad
The flex cable is bad. PM me and I'l explain how to fix.

I've screwed up the multi-jacks on two separate motherboards now by using the HK sync cable from eBay. It just puts too much stress on the jack. Today I found a real sync cable at a flea market but I seem to have permanently fried the current motherboard because no matter how carefully I reattach it, I get a constant red light from the R/O/G led.
So I need a T-Mobile motherboard (or any motherboard that will work with a Cingular US connection, if there is one). Does anyone in the US have one to sell me? I have a spare battery/back cover component that should work fine or a Nokia NGage to trade or can pay cash.
Help me out here, don't know if I can wait for another broken screen unit to turn up on eBay at a reasonable price. Thanks!
Just post this.

If the Nokia NGage would work with T-Mobile and the teenage I know
wanted it then that could be a deal.
Hey Guys.
Sad times. the USB socket has broken off the PCB of my phone... anybody know of somewhere (preferably in london or the South East) to get it fixed? O2 are quoting £280 to replace it (It is 14 months old). Or anybody have a broken HD2 with an intact PCB that thery dont want???
maybe if i ask santa really nicely!!!
if you search ebay you might be able to find it, but around 80 pounds is average since they have to replace the whole motherboard.
there's a classified on ebay for a walk in hd2 repair shop in london. search "hd2 glass" on ebay uk and sort by time ending. i did that an hour ago and they had a dozen adds on page 1. the adds were all for screens (since the search was for glass,) but gotta be worth giving them a try
Thanks guys, I ended up getting it done by a really nice guy in Acton (London), turns out it couldn't be re-soldered because the contact pads had been lifted offthe PCB, also he said that he thinks the wire in the pcb is broken too. The guy is keeping it for a couple of days and running new wires from the socket to whereever they lead in the PCB.
Top service. highly recomended, and you can send your phone to him and get it sent back to you!

Sad times... he couldnt fix it. anybody know of anywhere i can obtain a new Main PCB?
so very sad, i love my HD2
I have been making a few bucks doing small time repairs, mods, etc...I bought this particular Vibrant ( standard 50-80$ craigslist cracked screen/LCD broken) knowing I had two good Digitizer/Screen replacements. After replacing everything works but the screen. The phone boots, audios good, lights and buttons/touchscreen work fine just with a blank screen. I have tried everything I can think of...I don't know what could be causing this on the motherboard? There are no visible problems or missing/discolored resistors etc on the main board, the USB mounts and charges well, I know the digitizers are good so I'm stumped? I've done this replacement many times and have never seen or can find any instance of this online.
I have a second hand Galaxy S2 which was unlocked to all networks and randomly the phone would connect to driving mode. I used GoLauncher EX to delete Voice control but then it started showing that it was charging constantly. After a lot of research I found the problem was in the charging port.
I ordered a new charging port online and I've put it in instead of the old one and now the charging problem is gone, but now my phone gets no service on a Three UK sim, I'm quite sure it wasn't on Three UK to begin with.
Is it possible that changing the charging port might have locked the phone to the original carrier again?
and is there anyway to unlock it(without root) or get it working again a different way?
(This is my first post. Forgive me if I've made any mistakes. )
Got quite a few views. Does this mean no one has any idea on what it could be?
Take a look at the antenna wire sometime you touched it and it's not connected properly
Yeah I have seen a lot of people lose signal who replace that port. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the antenna. Make sure you have knocked it by mistake

I experienced the same problem with my Samsung S2. I had destroyed the charging port by being careless when charging it which meant my phone would not charge at all; although if I was lucky I would get about 10% charge every day.
To resolve the problem, I bought a cheap charging port flex cable off ebay for about £4.00 which I thought was a bargin. After taking the phone apart (with help from a YouTube video) I replaced the port, turned the phone on and it charged perfectly. Then all of a sudden I lost all signal. I moved around the house, hoping to get the slightest bit of signal but no, nothing. I did a lot of research online as to why this has happened and everyone said it was to do with the antenna cable that runs along the left hand side of the phone so my immediate thought was to buy a new one. I did a factory reset to see if that helped but it did not. As I was desperate, the following day I went into town to see if I could find a shop that sold an antenna wire. I went in shop after shop but nowhere sold what I was looking for. I went into a shop and described my problem to the man behind the counter, and he knew exactly what was wrong. On the flex cable there is "REV" followed by a number, and he told me that if the replacement number is not the same as the original then the phone will have no service.
In the photos you will see my original cable that was "REV2.3" and my replacement cable that was "REV2.2".
Long story short... when replacing the charging port make sure the replacement flex cable has the same REV number as the original otherwise you will have no service. Your problem is not related to the antenna wire.
I hope this helps!

Hey guys
My phone touch was broken so I had it replaced at a local store. The touch worked fine for some days but then it suddenly stopped working.
This time I showed the phone to authorised service center. They told me that the LCD connector to Motherboard is broken and they can only replace the full motherboard.
So can anyone advise me where can I get this LCD Connector to MB?? I lives in Sonipat near Delhi!!!
Thanks in advance
